Summary:
My father and I share a habit: we tend to point out and grumble over certain catchphrases we hear or read in a news report, mostly because they're misused, overused, or just plain don't make sense. He dislikes things such as "address the issue" or "touch base" or "spearhead". Me? I make faces when I hear Earth science terms getting co-opted.Content analysis:
